Superb bunch of people, warm & friendly yet respectful. From the time I called them late on a Friday night right through to collecting my wife's ashes they couldn't have been m ... ore helpful. Though everything had been sorted out via a Funeral Plan (well worth doing as it saves a lot of decision making at the worst time in one's life) The S&R team arranged times for picking up the Death Certificate and for registering it at The Registry Office, I didn't have to do a thing, they did it for me. THEY WERE SUPERB. While I'm her let me do a plug for Funeral Plans: My first worry was that the Funeral Directors cease trading. NO worry, you don't pay them, you pay into a trust , so if your nominated funeral director goes bust it is automatically picked up by another Funeral Director that is a member of the trust. If funeral prices go up? No worries again, you have paid for the service, if costs go up it is borne by the trust fund. If you want extras not covered by the initial plan such as an extra car then, of course, you will have to pay the going rate. more

From the start to finish the service provided was first class. The care and attention shown throughout made the process trouble free and eased the burden on the family.

Liam was amazing! He managed to arrange and conduct a funeral for my mother in only four days as I had already booked to go away on holiday for the following two weeks. I would hav ... e either had to cancel my holiday or delay the funeral until I returned from my holiday. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way to provide everything I wanted for my mother's funeral. He took away all the stress and I was able to go away on holiday and relax. more
